So can you advise some argument I could tell my bosses, why it would be easy for me and for my future collegues especially since they probably would came from manual testing and not technically educated if we start automating web-GUI testing in some script language and not in Visual Studio? Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it - it would be much harder for you because you would need to write a custom interface to TFS before you could link your tests to test cases written in MTM.

It is a component of the larger CodedUI framework, but for legacy desktop applications it is sometimes easier to go directly to UIA and use the appropriate accessibility pattern to drive actions for UI controls.
TestComplete is proprietary a UI Automation tool by SmartBear, it has been around since early s, it is has pricy has UFT but it became increasingly popular when compared to it because it advertises that it doesn't need programming skills although just like UFT you do need programming skills for advance scripts and because it was a wider range of supported programing languages and technologies.
This is a relative newcomer, it has been around since It has a more reduced range of technologies it supports, but it's free and easy to use without programming skills for simple test cases.
That is where I'm going to stop, if I describe every UI tool out there this blog post will never end. Just know that there are other tools that are very popular:.
I'm going to mention one more alternative on the Mobile UI Test automation space because I believe that it has some features for that are pretty good compared with the others. I was not able to find a market research that had Xamarin as one of the offerings for UI Automation, either because Xamarin is relatively new or because it was rebranded when it was acquired by Microsoft. I really hope this changes in the future. After a quick research, I found that most of the market share information for UI automation tools is a bit dated.
And even when it is not dated, the business companies in charge of the research often mix Unit test tools and Performance Test tools with UI automation. Based on the more recent sources from , it seems that the following conclusions can be drawn:. You must be a registered user to add a comment.

It does reporting much better that any other competitors. Its add-in protocols do speed up automation of commonly used Enterprise Management software.
Easy to install, it's all in one package: IDE, test runner, Reporting, integration, etc. For simple test cases, it is the easier to learn and use even without programming skills because of its Keyword view. For more complex needs, you will need to script using VBScript. It covers some niches that others don't such as image-based scripting for Citrix protocol testing. UFT does well things like object repository, script recording and playback and reports.
Cons: Price. Its cost-model based on protocols and frequent renewals makes its licenses much more expensive compared to every other offering. This is where the user would enter all the steps that a tester would need to follow in order to complete a test case. This is specific to a manual test case, so the test steps should be written as human-readable as possible. You can also use parameters in order to make your test cases data-driven.
This allows you to create multiple iterations. Later on, I will show you how to use them to achieve some automation on your manual test cases. So that covers the first part of this series. Next step is Test Execution. My word it really is a dire application. What state is the test case in, has it been reviewed? Hi, I have seen that occasionally this page displays an error message. I thought you would be keen to know. All the best. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
